Alexa Chung - Alexa Chung Confused By Bins

Alexa Chung mistook her mail box for a bin.

The TV presenter admits she is struggling to adapt to life in New York and some aspects of everyday life have left her perplexed.

She said: "I have discovered that things that look like rubbish bins are in fact mail boxes and vice versa (I learned this the hard way)."

Alexa - who is dating Arctic Monkeys star Alex Turner - is also amazed that she has little use for her kitchen in America.

She added: "I came to the realisation that nobody ever stays in and nobody ever cooks. I told my one American friend I was going to try to be good this week and cook all my meals myself, but this suggestion was met with a knowing laugh and some sisterly advice, 'You should probably give up on that idea right away. For a start there are no supermarkets around here.' "
